Dear Mother,
We had 36 holes today, starting at 8:30. The reason for writing now is that there is fifteen minutes wait for tea.

wooden club, I got one peachy shot after the other. Then my game improved.
This afternoon I started out very well. Then on the elbow hole, the one I got a three on the other day. I got in the woods and deep in the trap, and ended up with an eleven. I butchered some more holes, so that I had 108 where I should have had 98 very easily. Nevertheless I played the best golf I have ever played.
Gdpa. sent me a clipping recording Elaine Rosenthal's best score, 86.
Me for some tea.
Love, Fannie

I forgot to tell you that on the last holes plainly visible from the club-porch, I got a wonderful drive, an approach, a long putt; and a lot of applause from spectators on the club-porch.
